I've been following the suggestions made here as well as the documentation on xorg.conf and nvidia. I continue to have the same issue though. The color depth is off - my desktop background is grainy, and if I open more than one window, like Firefox and a terminal, the colors on the inactive window change to like 8 colors displayed.
Here is my xorg.conf file: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.org Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/lib/X11/rgb" ModulePath "/usr/lib/modules" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/CID/" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/" EndSection Section "Module" Load "extmod" # Load "dri" Load "dbe" Load "record" Load "xtrap" Load "glx" Load "type1" Load "freetype" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Monitor Model" EndSection Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False", ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "DigitalVibrance" # <i> #Option "NoFlip" # [<bool>] #Option "Dac8Bit" # [<bool>] #Option "NoLogo" # [<bool>] #Option "UBB" # [<bool>] #Option "Stereo" # <i> #Option "SWcursor" # [<bool>] #Option "HWcursor" # [<bool>] #Option "VideoKey" # <i> #Option "NvAGP" # <i> #Option "IgnoreEDID" # [<bool>] #Option "NoDDC" # [<bool>] #Option "ConnectedMonitor" # <str> #Option "ConnectedMonitors" # <str> #Option "TVStandard" # <str> #Option "TVOutFormat" # <str> #Option "RenderAccel" # [<bool>] #Option "CursorShadow" # [<bool>] #Option "CursorShadowAlpha" # <i> #Option "CursorShadowXOffset" # <i> #Option "CursorShadowYOffset" # <i> #Option "UseEdidFreqs" # [<bool>] #Option "FlatPanelProperties" # <str> #Option "TwinView" # [<bool>] #Option "TwinViewOrientation" # <str> #Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" # <str> #Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" # <str> #Option "MetaModes" # <str> #Option "UseInt10Module" # [<bool>] #Option "NoTwinViewXineramaInfo" # [<bool>] #Option "NoRenderExtension" # [<bool>] #Option "Overlay" # [<bool>] #Option "CIOverlay" # [<bool>] #Option "ForceEmulatedOverlay" # [<bool>] #Option "TransparentIndex" # <i> #Option "OverlayDefaultVisual" # [<bool>] #Option "NvEmulate" # <i> #Option "NoBandWidthTest" # [<bool>] #Option "CustomEDID-CRT-0" # <str> #Option "CustomEDID-CRT-1" # <str> #Option "CustomEDID-DFP-0" # <str> #Option "CustomEDID-DFP-1" # <str> #Option "CustomEDID-TV-0" # <str> #Option "CustomEDID-TV-1" # <str> #Option "TVOverScan" # <f> #Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" # <str> #Option "MultisampleCompatibility" # [<bool>] #Option "RegistryDwords" # <str> #Option "RegistryBinary" # <str> #Option "NoPowerConnectorCheck" # [<bool>] #Option "AllowDFPStereo" # [<bool>] #Option "XvMCUsesTextures" # [<bool>] #Option "HorizSync" # <str> #Option "VertRefresh" # <str> #Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" # [<bool>] Identifier "Card0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "nVidia Corporation" BoardName "Unknown Board" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1600x1200" EndSubSection EndSection When I run glxinfo | grep direct, it returns: error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual.
